FAST Industry Day Vinyl

25 October 2018, Abbey Road Studios

“Music’s changing fast: FAST is changing music.” To showcase five years of digital music research the FAST project hosted an invite only industry day at the renowned Abbey Road Studios. This event included technical demonstrations, talks, performances and a panel discussion that could shape the future of the recorded music industry.

The FAST project (Fusing Audio and Semantic Technologies for Intelligent Music Production and Consumption) explores new technologies to disrupt the recorded music industry and is a collaboration between researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Nottingham and the University of Oxford.

Artcodes were used to create a digital program guide allowing guests to scan Artcodes at relevant locations and learn more about demonstrations, talks and performances. The one hundred and twenty attendees also had an opportunity to take home a unique vinyl record produced for the event with Artcodes on the record sleeve.
